Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika has completed his move to Eintracht Frankfurt from Club Brugge in a major transfer ahead of the new season.
The Bundesliga club reached a full agreement with Club Brugge for the 25-year-old midfielder. Eintracht Frankfurt will pay an initial fee of €9 million, with additional add-ons included in the deal.
Onyedika has agreed a long-term contract with the German side that will run until 2031. The Nigerian midfielder and his representatives have already informed all parties about the agreement.
The final step of the transfer is his medical, which Eintracht Frankfurt expects to complete within the next 48 hours.
The Super Eagles star became a key player for Club Brugge after joining the Belgian club. His strong tackling, physical ability and composure in midfield helped him become one of the team’s most reliable players.
Eintracht Frankfurt had followed Onyedika for a long time before completing the deal. The club believes the Nigerian midfielder can add strength, energy and balance to their midfield.
The move represents a big opportunity for Onyedika as he prepares to compete in one of Europe’s biggest leagues. He will now look to continue his development and make his mark in the Bundesliga.
Eintracht Frankfurt fans will hope the Nigerian international can quickly adapt and become an important part of their squad.
